One per each circle, there are two parking spots. There are no restrooms in any location. During operating hours, the Science Center has bathrooms. The Bridge Loop begins on Elachee Dr. at either end of the parking lot. You might also park at the Science Center and walk the pathways that connect there. The route starts at the far right corner of the lake parking lot or just inside the gate to the left of the entry, traveling behind the buildings.
The Bridge Loop and the Lake Loop are combined in this loop. There are no precise directions because you can start from numerous spots and travel any route you desire. There are trail signs and maps at every intersection, and the trails are well-blazed, so getting lost shouldn't be an issue no matter where you start. Just keep an eye out for the green and orange blazes. The suspension bridge is located near the section where the two loops overlap for.4 mile. You won't miss it because it's visible from the western intersection of the two loops.
